I have a question about the City of Seattle's building code (or maybe it is King County's?)...specifically how close to the property line can someone build their house? I thought it was 5 feet. The developer building the monstrosity spec house next door seemed to be following this rule, and but then they tacked this part of the new house that sticks out...and that part is about 3.5 feet from the property line. Has he gone against code? If I decided to build my house with something like that 3.5 feet from the property line, that would leave 7 feet for fire fighters, etc...doesn't seem right to me.
If he has gone against code, what should I do.
